I removed the domain for the cookie as that is not going to work well for many people. I am almost done on the improved version with the fix.

Hello .

I confirm the bug. The problem appears on Chrome and Firefox when trying to access by IP address, not by hostname.

MeshCentral v1.0.50 is published. Cookies and web relay should both work.

Wow, that was quick! I Installed the update, but now the “MeshCentral” service doesn’t start at all.

I tried logging in with clear cookies but that didn’t solve the problem. When accessing through the hostname - the problem does not appear.

Try clearing cookies It worked for me
